This attachment prevents the actuator assembly 914 from rotating in the motor bracket 912 . A small clamp may also be used to hold the actuator assembly 914 fixed relative to the motor bracket 912 prior to assembly of the bracket clip 916 described below.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the attachment of the bracket clip 916 to the motor bracket 912 and actuator assembly 914 of the rearview device of FIG. 1 . Bracket clip 916 may be attached to motor bracket 912 and actuator assembly 914 to clamp actuator assembly 914 to motor bracket 912 . The bracket clip 916 should first slide between the actuator assembly 914 and the front portion of the motor bracket 912 as illustrated by the downward arrow in FIG. 3 . This causes the clamping prongs 916b and clamping cams 916a to engage the front portion of the motor bracket 912 . This engagement is described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 . Carriage clamp 916 should then be rotated toward actuator assembly 914 until clamp clamp 916c engages a corresponding retention tab (not shown) on motor bracket 912 . This also causes the clamping prong 916b and clamping cam 916a to rotate until the clamping clamp 916c is engaged and the actuator assembly 914 is clamped to the motor bracket 912 .

4 is a diagram illustrating a cross-section of the bracket clip 916 at detail A of FIG. 3 after engagement with the motor bracket 912 and actuator assembly 914 of the rearview device of FIG. 1 .

Assembly described above. Because the tool openings 93a, 93b are aligned with each other, an axis of rotation is thereby defined and allows rotation of the motor bracket 90 with the aid of a tooling fixture for easy attachment of different parts of the head assembly to the motor bracket. Rack 90. To facilitate the respective rotation, the axis of rotation defined by the tool openings 93a, 93b is inclined relative to the pivot axis of the joint system. Since the base 92 of the motor bracket 90 has a part-spherical shape arranged concentrically with respect to the pivot axis of the pivot joint system, the base 92 appears to be parallel to the direction of the bracket 90 through the tool openings 93a, 93b. The upper edge where the axis of rotation extends is inclined, as can best be seen from FIG. 6 .

The order in which the different rearview device parts are attached to the motor bracket 90 and the angles at which the motor bracket 90 is rotated to facilitate the respective attachments is within the knowledge of those skilled in the art and may vary depending on personal preference.
